Tucker Carlson blasts Chuck Schumer for calling for media censorship and then refusing an invitation to go on his show to discuss it:

Schumer said he declined to debate Carlson on his show.
.@TuckerCarlson invited me on his show tonight to debate the letter I sent to @FoxNews.
I'm declining. Tucker Carlson needs to stop promoting the racist, dangerous ‘Replacement Theory’.

Tucker Carlson and Fox News promote dangerous, racist, white supremacist lies and conspiracy theories.
That's cowardly.
Amplifying racist lies and propaganda is simply not debatable.
It should have no place in America.

“Again, Chuck Schumer is a federal official. He is the leading Democrat in United States Senate and he is calling for media censorhip. There was a time 18 months ago that would have been considered a direct violation of the First Amendment. We hear it every day. ‘Let’s throw them in jail.’ We wanted to hear more from Chuck Schumer about this. Invited him on the show tonight as we always do but because he is a coward, this is the only media appearance and history has probably turned down,” Carlson said in response on his show Tuesday evening.
